We had a blast at Solvang! This year we camped at the RV park in Buellton:
Phil was also close by with his tent and roadster, I could hear his FJ
warming up in the am :D
Friday night we headed over to the gas station museum around 9pm and I
saw/heard a silver roadster whiz by, it had a turbo!! I knew I couldn't
sleep without seeing under the hood. It was a car Kevin Desirello made for a
customer and it was simply CRAZY! Kevin gave me a ride and I was so
overwhelmed I gave him a hug afterwards. THis is the fastest roadster I have
been in, maybe in existence!
-Eagle eyes will notice a "Spriso" mod with the intake/outlet piping through
the fenders.
In short, it has a S14SR20DET with a disco potato turbo, complete BOLT-in
Ford 8.8. w disc brakes, Z32TT front brakes, fmic, injectors and a stereo
system that made me feel like in was sitting in a Lexus. It hazed the tires
in 1st, 2nd AND 3rd gears!!! Here's short video clip:

It blew my mind. Contact Kevin if you want one!
On to the show, some highlights:

-Ron gave me a copy of his Hemmings magzine feature, I forgot to make him
sign his autograph!
-ed mason's recent, and brilliant 67.5 SRL completion:
-Tim and Will Miner, 'nuf said:
-new-style panasports
-I enjoyed talking/meeting 311s folks in person, sorry If I missed your car
I has serious heat exhaustion issues.
I heard we had 80+ cars this year, thanks to Jeff T. and co. for putting on
a great show!!!
